heaven ! fernando a. x ofc (mom!professional wrestler!canadian!ofc)

"i don't know how heaven could be better than this."

summary: everyone's talking about the hearth sisters, lester and their partners. but what about the original F1 it couple of the 2000s? OR beatrice anastasia 'trish' alonso is the only woman who can balance out fernando alonso's insanity with her calmness, and she happens to be the grid's crush of the season.

content warning: fluff, mentions of mclaren fernando, dad!fernando, family-centric (ish), possible use of explicit language, badly translated spanish, tim hortons references, 2023 canadian gp, f1 drivers are down bad, petty fernando at the very end, using 'trish stratus' (the actual ring name of the wrestler) as the ring name of oc

note: was writing third part of my max verstappen thing, worked on cmyc for a minute, thought about nando and that photo with the models, made these posts, had a breakdown. bon appetit xx

2018 ROYAL RUMBLE - TRISH STRATUS TALKS ABOUT COMING BACK TO THE RING AS A WOMEN'S ROYAL RUMBLE ENTRANT

[1st image: i've definitely missed being in the ring. for the past few years i've been working back and forth in spain and canada- where my yoga studio is. i've been watching my husband, fernando, race throughout the years and we've been taking the kids along whenever we could.]

[2nd: i've told him (fernando) at some point that i've missed being out there and wrestling. months before, hunter (triple h) called me and wondered if i'd like to be a part of... this. i had never been so happy to hear that they want me to be a part of this very important event that will impact women's history at the professional wrestling industry. now here i am, participating in the first women's royal rumble.]

[3rd: it's been an eye opener for me, to be honest. i've met many women that are new here- some of them apparently grew up watching me alongside stephanie mcmahon and lita and the other ladies. i had never been this happy nefore because we never had the same platform as men - and back then, it wasn't as diverse in the women's division. so for me to be a part of this, so far, has been an absolute privilege. i will never ever waste any time spent here.]

[4th: my husband was more excited than i was *laughs*. throughout his break, he did everything a supportive spouse would have done. he took the kids to watch me train, we often did our workouts and yoga together, he was actually the one who suggested i wore these ring gears. he's highly excited to see me in the ring tonight - he even wore an old trish stratus merchandise that he bought years ago.]

[5th: he's supposed to be in uk for his sim racing practice, but he phoned me few days ago telling me that he was already flying in with our kids - one of which is a six month old - from spain. he said that "he didn't want to miss out on his wife making history again." so... here i am! making history with the most talented women in wwe, as my fernando wanted.]

2016 AUSTRALIAN GRAND PRIX - POST-RACE INTERVIEW WITH FERNANDO ALONSO

[1st image: i know that my mom and my wife are watching the tv, so i got out quite quickly.]

[2nd: trisha has been calling me every hour to see if i'm okay. i keep telling her that i'm okay but she doesn't believe me for one bit- i was like "what do you want me to do???" *laughs* but i am flying back to canada as soon as i can because i miss her and our son.]

[3rd: it's not the first time that has happened to me but now i know i have to make it out of such situation because i have a family. our son, frederico, is only 2. i still want to see him and his many siblings grow up, you know? this is the first time i've been scared (enough) because i promised to take him swimming when we go back to spain. so, yes. i would like to get out of australia as quickly as possible so i can rest with my wife and our son.]

MBLG Event #14: Amongst the Revheads at the Melbourne Formula 1 Grand Prix

Sunday, 26 March 2017

Most people won’t know this, but the Australian Grand Prix was first run at Phillip Island in 1928. However, from 1985 it became part of the Formula One World Championship, held in Adelaide until 1995, then moved to Melbourne after that. The Australian Grand Prix is contracted to be held in Melbourne until 2023.

The Australian (Melbourne) Grand Prix is usually the first Formula One race of each year. The Melbourne Grand Prix is a street circuit around Albert Park Lake. The Albert Park Circuit was also used as a race course from 1953 to 1958.

I knew it was going to be a long hot day, so I decided not to take any food and drinks with me. I also left my jacket at home. I didn’t look forward to carrying more than I had to on that day. With that in mind, I made sure to have a large breakfast before I set off.

As usual, Melbourne was very well prepared for this event. It was well promoted that parking around Albert Park Lake was nigh impossible, but there were many free Express Grand Prix (GP) trams that could take GP patrons to the venue. Not only that, but from 9am to 1.30pm (peak time) they would be leaving every minute! The same would apply for patrons returning from 4.30pm to 8.30pm. All in-between hours would still be free, but leaving at less frequent intervals.

So, I parked my Renault near Box Hill Station, caught the 9.30am train to Flinders Street Station, then took a free Express GP tram to Gate 10 of the Australian Grand Prix. As a General Admission ticket holder, that would get me as close as possible to the Corporate Section, where all the action was. Gate 1, which took you directly there, was only accessible to Corporate ticket holders.

The gates opened at 10.30am, on Sunday, 26 March 2017, and I was one of the first of about one hundred thousand patrons to go through security, scan my ticket (purchased online and printed at home) and walk through the gates to watch Australia’s fastest car racing contest.

It was Race Day, the fourth and last day of the Australian Grand Prix, but the Formula One race wasn’t scheduled to start until 4pm. I certainly had ample time to explore the Albert Park grounds before the big race. It was a warm sunny day, so I was looking forward to having a very enjoyable time there.

However, the first thing I noticed was that the track was caged in. Heavy concrete barriers surrounded the course with four-metre high iron-mesh fences erected all around it. I could understand how that would protect the patrons from possibly being injured by a car crash, but it killed any opportunity for them (me) to get a clear look at the cars. Immediately, I wished I’d stayed home to watch it on TV: the view would be perfect, the seating would be comfortable with air-conditioning, and I would have access to an endless supply of reasonably priced food and drink.

From that moment on, I just roamed around aimlessly (like everyone else) trying to relieve my boredom. Three other races were held during the day, but watching them through the rails was impossible. Many giant TV screens were scattered around the circuit that gave the patrons a good view of the action, but why (I thought) would I want to pay such an expensive ticket price just to watch the race on an inferior quality, even though larger, TV screen.

Race Day Ticket Prices were: $89… Adult $62… Concession Plus I had to pay a transaction Fee of $5.15 for purchasing my ticket online.

Soft drinks were $5 per 600 ml bottle, and mineral water was $4.50. Fortunately, there were some (three) Free Drinking Water fountains around the circuit, so I was able to keep myself refreshed (and save a few dollars) by using them. As the day wore on, people began filling their empty soft drink bottles at these fountains. At one stage, I even saw a guy filling a large metal bucket!

Heineken was selling mini cans of beer everywhere (I’m sure at grossly inflated prices, considering they had recently signed a $337 million deal to become the global beer partner of Formula One). You could buy coffee ($5) and cake ($5) / donuts ($6.50) from Little Black. Food stalls were everywhere too, selling small pizzas ($11-13), grilled chicken ($12), etc. At this rate, taking a family to the Grand Prix for just a day (at General Admission ticket prices plus food and drink) could cost around a thousand dollars!

Fortunately, the toilet facilities were flawless. Lots of them, and always one with wheelchair access. I also saw a Portable Parents Room that could be used for feeding and changing babies (www.milkshack.com.au).

Helicopters were always flying overhead. You could purchase a helicopter flight for $90. For this price, the flight would take you around the circuit twice. I imagined that the actual flying time would probably be about two minutes, so these guys were doing a roaring trade, especially since more than one passenger could be taken up at a time.

At the souvenir tents prices got ridiculous: caps for $30, T-shirts for $60, and some other items for hundreds of dollars.

The BMX Grand Prix Pro Jam was very cool! BMX cyclists leapt from a high ramp onto a clay concave track so that they did enormous loops ten metres up in the air before landing safely at the other end.

The Kids Corner catered very well for the children. There were small plastic racing cars for them to drive. They also had a small track for kids to traverse on scooters. Those kids were tough, knocking each other out of contention whenever the opportunity arised.

There were also a couple of rock music shows and lots of car displays, old and new, from at least a dozen different car manufacturers. The Army seemed to be everywhere too: from marching bands, to rock concerts, to truck displays.

But, for me, the highlight was the Super Hornet Show. It caught me and everyone else completely by surprise! I knew that the Formula One race was the loudest sporting event in the world, but when the Super Hornet flew directly above me, I thought the entire earth was erupting! It was a noise level of at least a hundred Formula One race cars!

And check out these stats: it burns 700 litres of fuel per minute and it can fly up to 1,915 kilometres per hour. According to the announcer, the RAAF was looking for pilots and (can you believe it?) no experience was necessary. It seemed quite obvious to me that the Australian armed forces were using the Grand Prix as a recruiting event.

There was no doubt that the patrons were being cared for all around the circuit, but when it came to watching the actual race, most people did it in front of a giant screen, and usually in the hot sun… not a very comfortable option.

I honestly wondered how many of these patrons would be willing to pay so much to come to this event again next year. I knew that I wasn’t!

PS: 2017 Australian Grand Prix Results: First: Sebastian Vettel-Germany (Ferrari). Second: Lewis Hamilton-UK (Mercedes). Third: Valtteri Bottas-Finland (Mercedes).

Only 13 of the 20 cars finished the race. After experiencing problems with his clutch, Daniel Ricciardo-Australia (Red Bull) eventually managed to start the race but his car stopped on the 29th lap of the 57-lap race. That was one Australian who definitely had a worse day than me.

Verstappen wont be around too long if F1 keeps changing race weekend format | 2023 Australian Grand Prix

Max Verstappen says Formula 1’s experiments with changes to its race weekend format could lead him to leave the sport. The series introduced a sprint race format two years ago which will form a larger part of this year’s world championship. Six of the 23 rounds will include sprint races, up from three last year. F1 is considering changes to the sprint format which could come into play as early as the first sprint weekend of the season in Baku in four weeks’ time. Haas F1 team principal Guenther Steiner said today the sport is considering holding a dedicated qualifying session for the sprint race. This comes as F1 CEO Stefano Domenicali reiterated his desire to reduce the amount of practice which takes place at grand prix weekends and increase the number of competitive sessions. However Verstappen made it clear he prefers the traditional grand prix weekend format. “I’m happy with just the main race,” he told Portuguese television channel Sport TV. “I think that’s way better for the excitement.” “I naturally, of course, hope that there won’t be too many changes otherwise I won’t be around for too long,” Verstappen added. The two-times world champion has long been a critic of the sprint race format. “I’m not a fan of the sprint,” he said last year. “It is what it is. Some like it, some don’t.” Verstappen signed a contract extension with Red Bull ahead of last season which runs to the 2028 season. While F1 is known to be evaluating changes to its sprint format, no final decision has yet been taken. Verstappen’s team principal Christian Horner said today F1 needs to “tidy up the format for the sprint races coming up” to make them “a bit more dynamic.” “I know that the sporting director has been working hard on that and hopefully we can get that finalised.” Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free 2023 Australian Grand Prix Browse all 2023 Australian Grand Prix articles via RaceFans - Independent Motorsport Coverage https://www.racefans.net/

F1's Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix WON'T have to pay a hosting fee of up to 20m

F1's Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix WON'T have to pay a hosting fee of up to £20m after it was cancelled due to killer floods in Imola - and it will have NO impact on TV rights deals despite the season dropping to 22 races This weekend's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix has been called off due to flooding The F1 calendar will most likely drop to 22 races amid fears of a packed schedule Formula One Group will pick up the the £20m bill for the cancellation of the race By Jonathan McEvoy For Mailonine Published: 09:23 EDT, 17 May 2023 | Updated: 09:23 EDT, 17 May 2023 Formula One Group (F1G) will themselves pick up the bill for the cancellation of Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix in Imola, by not even asking the circuit for the hosting fee of up to £20million. A source close to the situation told Mail Sport: ‘Nobody wants to bankrupt anyone.’ While anything between the estimated £15m and £20m fee is a significant amount for F1G to miss out on, it is less than a third of the cash paid by venues such as Qatar and Saudi Arabia as new ‘jewels’ of the £2billion-a-year sport. Even after Imola was called off on Wednesday as terrible rain left the region prone to landslides and parts of Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari flooded, the season is still a bursting 22 races long. Local organisers will refund ticket prices to fans, but this outlay is offset by F1G’s decision not to demand the fee. This weekend's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix was cancelled due to extreme rain in Imola, Italy Formula One Group (F1G) will pick up the bill and won't ask the circuit for the £20m hosting fee The race was cancelled after Stefano Domenicali, F1’s chief executive, thought it would be a bad look for his plutocratic sport to play on in such grim circumstances It is the second time in recent years that a race has been cancelled at the 11th hour. The other was the 2020 Australian Grand Prix, which fell victim to Covid after the travelling circus of some 2,000 people had flown Down Under. That was because one McLaren mechanic tested positive for Covid, and only a small minority of those there thought it responsible to press head in those febrile days as the world locked down. At issue then was a fee closer to £50m. This time the danger around is clear. Two people died earlier in the month and hundreds have been evacuated from their houses. It is understood that Stefano Domenicali, F1’s chief executive who grew up in the region and worked in the Imola car park as a boy directing Bernie Ecclestone to his space, thought it would be a bad look for his plutocratic sport to play on in such grim circumstances. And what if someone had been swept away while walking to the race by the adjacent and swollen Santerno river? Who would have been liable? Qatar Airways, who pay up to £50m as one of F1’s global partners and were due to be title sponsors of the race, will be offered further exposure during the season to compensate. The TV rights deals are not impacted because, at 22 races, F1G, who are owned by American conglomerate Liberty Media, are well above the required threshold to receive full payment for the season. Imola was evacuated on Tuesday due to flood risks just days before the scheduled Grand Prix A picture shared on Twitter today (left) showed the waters of the Santerno rising dangerously close to the edge of the famed circuit – but the area has seen flooding throughout May (right) Share or comment on this article: F1's Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix WON'T have to pay a hosting fee of up to £20m via Formula One | Mail Online https://www.dailymail.co.uk?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490

Champs On Top in Crazy Melbourne | 2023 Australian Grand Prix Review | F1 Nation Podcast

Max Verstappen won the Australian Grand Prix for the first time to extend his F1 World Championship lead to 15 points. But it wasn’t as straightforward as many of his previous victories. The Dutchman overcame battles with Mercedes, safety cars and three red flags. Tom Clarkson and Damon Hill are joined by Australia’s Network 10 TV team to dissect all the drama from an action-packed race in Melbourne. After a disappointing Saturday, Sergio Perez produced a monster drive from the pitlane to come fifth and stay in touch with his teammate in the driver standings. Alfa Romeo’s Zhou Guanyu shares his delight at scoring points for the first time this season after finishing ninth. Oscar Piastri’s manager Mark Webber and McLaren CEO Zak Brown reflect on a memorable home race for Oscar, who scored his first ever points in Formula 1. There were mixed fortunes for Mercedes, with George Russell suffering a power unit failure and an elated Lewis Hamilton holding off Fernando Alonso to claim second place. Will that be the springboard for a turnaround in the team’s season? And it was another bad day at the office for Ferrari. Charles LecLerc went into the gravel on turn one for his second DNF of the season and Carlos Sainz failed to score points after receiving a 5-second penalty for spinning Alonso in a chaotic restart at the end of the race.

Piastri enjoys very very special Friday practice in front of capacity home crowd in Melbourne

Despite a day punctuated by red flags in FP1 and rain in FP2, McLaren rookie Oscar Piastri thoroughly enjoyed his run in front of his home fans at Albert Park – while team mate Lando Norris said he had a “productive” pair of sessions as the 2023 Australian Grand Prix weekend got under way. In his F1 debut at home, Piastri finished 12th in FP1, which saw two red flags emerge after a data issue and a stoppage for Williams’ Logan Sargeant, before the Melburnian finished 14th in the second session, which was peppered by rain. READ MORE: Verstappen says he has ‘studying to do’ despite leading FP1 as Perez describes ‘messy’ afternoon in Australia “Very, very special obviously to be here at home,” said Piastri after emerging from the car. “Nice track. The walls are a bit closer than they look on TV! I feel like it was a good day. FP1 went pretty well; FP2 was the first time on the [intermediate compound], which was some useful learning. So, it feels like we are in a pretty decent place, and we will see how we go tomorrow. “It’s hard to get a read on every Friday, where everyone else is; with the weather today, I think some of the more quali-style runs were probably cut short for most of us. Hopefully tomorrow is dry; I think it’s going to be very cold – typical Melbourne. But I’m looking forward to it. I think we are in a reasonable place [relative] to where we have been the last few races,” he added. This feature is currently not available because you need to provide consent to functional cookies.

That’s why I didn’t do a lot of running for the first half, more [to] future work that stuff for this weekend. But apart from that FP2 was my first proper few runs on the hard tyre, which is a tricky tyre.

But, from the little I did, I think it was a good reading, good understanding, and decent feeling for tomorrow,” he said. McLaren look to open their account in Melbourne after two non-scoring races that have left themselves and AlphaTauri as the two teams yet to score ahead of the 2023 Australian Grand Prix. via Formula 1 News https://www.formula1.com

Verstappen screaming at the TV as Van Gisbergen took shock debut NASCAR win | 2023 British Grand Prix

Max Verstappen heaped praise on Shane van Gisbergen after the Australian Supercars champion won his first start in NASCAR last weekend. Van Gisbergen triumphed on his debut in America’s most popular racing series, which was making its first visit to a street circuit. He qualified third on the grid and passed series regular Justin Haley to clinch victory in Chicago. Verstappen described how he stayed up on Sunday evening following his victory in the Austrian Grand Prix to watch his friend and fellow Team Redline driver become the first person in 60 years to win on their debut in NASCAR. “I stayed awake to watch it, I’ve never felt so nervous in my life watching someone else race and trying to win it,” said Verstappen. “I was literally screaming in front of the TV or like my monitor for him to win.” Van Gisbergen, a three-times series in Australian Supercars (formerly V8 Supercars), impressed Verstappen with how well he adapted to the unfamiliar NASCAR Cup car. “That’s really, really impressive to jump in a car you don’t know,” said the Red Bull driver. “They’re very hard cars to drive and he just goes in there and he absolutely dominates the race. “I know he’s a great driver, I know what he’s capable of and I know how good he is at different kind of disciplines. I mean, he’s great of course at V8s [Supercars], that’s what he knows, but he’s great in a rally car as well and clearly he’s great in a NASCAR as well.

He’s a crazy right-foot braker still.” Verstappen is impressed by “crazy right-foot braker” Van Gisbergen The Red Bull driver admitted he can’t emulate Van Gisbergen’s unusual driving technique which allows him to achieve rapid lap times while minimising his fuel consumption. “I see it all the time on the simulator. He’s also part of Team Redline and sometimes we race together. “It’s quite insane that he’s that fast with that technique. But it’s also very good on fuel, for example, the way he drives. It’s interesting, I mean, I can’t do it, but he grew up like that.” Verstappen said he messaged Van Gisbergen “immediately” after his win. “He responded a bit late because of course he had a big party, which was far enough.” However Verstappen admitted he wouldn’t want to try a NASCAR race himself. “It’s not my style,” he said. “I like watching, I think it’s really, really cool and I was happy for Shane. I’m happy to maybe go there and just have a beer myself and enjoy the show.” Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free 2023 British Grand Prix Browse all 2023 British Grand Prix articles via RaceFans - Independent Motorsport Coverage https://www.racefans.net/

Sainz fumes over the most unfair penalty Ive ever seen for Alonso clash | 2023 Australian Grand Prix

Carlos Sainz Jnr said the penalty which cost him fourth place in the Australian Grand Prix was the most unfair decision he has ever seen. The Ferrari driver collided with Fernando Alonso at turn one during the final standing restart of the race with two laps to go. Sainz was given a five-second time penalty for the contact. The race concluded under Safety Car conditions. Sainz crossed the finishing line in fourth place but as so many cars were bunched up behind him he dropped out of the points in the final classification, taking 12th place. He spoke briefly to the official Formula 1 channel before leaving to meet with the stewards, saying he did not want to incur another penalty for being late. “Right now I cannot talk I’m too angry, too disappointed,” said the Ferrari driver. “I just cannot say anything. “I prefer to go to a stewards, get the penalty away because I don’t think I deserve it and is the most unfair penalty I’ve seen in my life. So I will go first to a stewards. I just need to come to the TV pen because if I don’t come, they put me another penalty.” Sainz was informed of his penalty on his radio by race engineer Riccardo Adami during the red-flag period before the final restart. He strongly criticised the decision and said he must be given the opportunity to put his case before the stewards. Advert | Become a RaceFans supporter and go ad-free “No, it cannot be, Ricky,” said Sainz. “Do I deserve to be out of the points? No. No, it’s unacceptable. Tell them it is unacceptable, they need to wait until the race is finished, but discuss with me. “No please. Please, please, please, please, please to wait, to wait and discuss with me. Clearly, the penalty is not deserved, it’s too severe.” Sainz continued to plead with his team. Sporting director Laurent Mekies told him they would take the matter up with the stewards. Sainz Please guys, do something, please. I cannot believe it. We are P3 and P4 and they want to put me out of the points for that, for a one lap incident. So unfair. I cannot believe they do this to me. Mekies It’s clear, Carlos, it’s clear. Let’s finish that race and we’ll discuss here. Sainz Let me at least discuss with the stewards, in the stewards’ room. Mekies Of course we will go and see them just after we get out of the car.

F1 star Daniel Ricciardo is finding his mojo at Australian Grand Prix and is firming to race in 2024

Daniel Ricciardo is finding his mojo at Australian Grand Prix with Red Bull boss saying the Aussie F1 star is 'undoubtedly race ready' Aussie is now a reserve driver for Red Bull Comes after disastrous stint at McLaren Ricciardo is finding his mojo again Red Bull boss says he is 10 minutes away from racing  By Josh Alston For Daily Mail Australia Published: 20:07 EDT, 31 March 2023 | Updated: 20:07 EDT, 31 March 2023 Daniel Ricciardo might be getting his mojo back after a horror season with McLaren, with his Red Bull boss saying the Aussie is '10 minutes away from being ready'. And Ricciardo has expressed his desire to make a comeback to the Formula One grid in 2024, saying 'signs are pointing' towards his return.  The 33-year-old Australian, who is attending his first race of the season as Red Bull's reserve driver for Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, is keen to see if the competitive juices are still flowing. Ricciardo left McLaren last year after two disappointing seasons and was replaced by Aussie youngster Oscar Piastri.  Ricciardo is attending around eight of the 23 races on F1's calendar this year as he takes a step back from the rigours of the sport's demanding schedule.  After taking time out to be a 'slob' Ricciardo is finding his mojo again and believes he will be ready for a fulltime return to F1 in 2024 Ricciardo poses for a photo with Matt Ford (L) and Jack Steele (R) of The Inspired Unemployed However, Ricciardo believes he still has the hunger to drive in F1 again and his love for the sport hasn't faded, saying he 'could only be a bit of a slob for so long'. 'It made me realise how much I do care about it,' he said. 'I want to be back with a top team, and a team where I have that confidence back and my mojo. 'To go back and to maybe put myself in any seat that's fighting at best for like a top 10, I don't think it's going to bring the best out of me. 'I see myself, at least in my head, wanting to be back on the grid. But there's still some terms and conditions, so to speak. It's not at all costs.' Former Australian f1 world champion Alan Jones chats with Ricciardo in Melbourne ahead of the Aussie GP Red Bull boss Christian Horner has praised Ricciardo's positive energy and his contribution to the team, saying he is 'undoubtedly race ready'.  Horner welcomed Ricciardo back to the team, where he spent five seasons from 2014-2018, saying 'It's great to have him back in blue and back in the team.' 'He's really throwing himself into it – he's sitting in all the briefings, he's been working really hard on the simulator as well in the UK doing some race support and development work on that,' Horner said. 'Daniel is such a positive energy to have around. It's great to see him getting his mojo back, to see that big smile on his face. 'He lights up a room whenever he walks in. Even though he's not driving, he's still probably the most popular driver here.″⁣ Piastri is making his hometown debut at Albert Park after being signed by McLaren to replace Ricciardo Piastri during free practice two during the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix at the Albert Park Circuit in Melbourne Meanwhile, Melbourne-born Oscar Piastri also made his home-town debut at the Australian Grand Prix.  The 21-year-old was thrilled to be on track at Albert Park, which is just a 10 minute drive from his family home. However, Piastri has some way to go before his McLaren can compete with the elite, finishing 12th fastest of the 20 drivers in Friday's opening practice and 14th quickest in a wet second session. 'Very, very special, obviously, to be here at home,' he said.  'It's a nice track - the walls are a bit closer than they look on TV.'  Share or comment on this article: F1 star Daniel Ricciardo is finding his mojo at Australian Grand Prix and is firming to race in 2024 via Formula One | Mail Online https://www.dailymail.co.uk?ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490&ito=1490
